Today, my mum yelled at me for wanting to apply to university courses that she doesn't approve of. I'm applying for Biomedical Sciences and Microbiology, she's an unemployed Jehovah's Witness. FML

And when she is asked what she does in her adult life, she will respond saying, "I walk around to people's houses and annoy people."

Start knocking on doors and see what other people think of your class choices.

Why do u need ur mom for that. Just apply for whatever you want! What kind of mom would not support her child?

OP, you should get on the Jehovah's Witness Protection Program. Tell your mom you've decided to leave her cult and become a Roman Catholic.

I am a Jehovah's Witness. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOING TO COLLEGE. Before you guys start talking crap about us, do your research...

People are so narrow minded. Find out what we believe before making a decision. I bet 90% of the people on here can't tell us anything about our religion without googling it first.

Exactly! And when we try to explain all they can do is call us cheap by following the Bible and not celebrating birthdays or christmas

On the bright side you must be over 18 so it doesn't really matter what she wants when it comes to your future. Sorry you have to deal with that though.

so I find it surpirsing how ignorant all you people who put such a huge emphasis on education are. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and though i did not stay in the religion my mom still is and my dads side except for my dad are Witnesses and half of my siblings are and they encourage all of us kids to go to college i didnt go but that is cause i choose to marry a Marine and have a family and stay at home and no not all people are shunned you idiots my family still talks to us and they invite us to dinner and what not all of the time. In fact they help me buy things for my husband's care packages since he's deployed and even though they dont agree with the war and what he is doing they do respect him as my husband and a part of the family. Yes there are people who are extemist but my husband has family who are catholic and extremist so there's that kind of people everywhere who take things to far. And just like i tell my husband you wanna talk shit about something then go sit your ass down learn about it and then talk your shit, if you dont know what you're talking about then keep your mouths shut cause maybe its annoying to have people come knock on your door talking about their beliefs but what i find more annoying is people talking shit when they dont know anythingabout the subject. How about you save yourselves the embarassment of sounding stupid and just keep your mouths shut.

Judging from the quality of your statement and the terrible spelling, I would say that people are pretty right about the need for education. Also, you cant tell people that they are stupid and that they should shut up because they dont know anything, when you dont know any of those people yourself. In before, your whole point is retarded. People have a right for an opinion, even if you dont like it. And the fact in this FML is that the stupid mother doesnt want her daughter to learn science, and what a coincidence, that stupid mother happens to be from a religion that doesnt recognize science as a fact.

Viperex 1. Facts that are wrong cannot be disguised as opinions and called fine. 2. You made yourself sound stupid trying to bash this person's comment.
